Actor without ambition

Chapter 248 Wu Jing and "Spike Fang"

"Unforgettable tonight, unforgettable tonight..."

Accompanied by the unforgettable singing tonight, Zhang Yuxuan walked off the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. This time, the Spring Festival Gala ended smoothly.

When Zhang Yuxuan came out from the CCTV, Li Ling was already waiting outside.

"Do you want to see you off?" Zhang Yuxuan stood beside the car and said to Huang Bo and others.

"No, no, go back quickly."

"We have the car ready."

"Yes, go back quickly."

Huang Bo and the others waved their hands.

"That's fine, I'll be leaving first." Zhang Yuxuan opened the car door and got into the car, waving goodbye to everyone.

……

When I was young, I was looking forward to the Spring Festival, and I even wished that the New Year could come once a day.

It's just that when they grow up, people often find that something like the Spring Festival is not as good as it is.

As soon as the Spring Festival comes, we must start busy and prepare for everything.Food, drink, and things to play have to be bought in advance, and then relatives have to be visited, New Year's greetings, greetings and gifts, but it is not easy at all.It’s okay if you have a lot of money, but if you don’t have a lot of money, you will have to tighten your belt after this year.

So when I was young, I looked forward to the New Year, but when I grew up, I was annoyed by the New Year.

Although Zhang Yuxuan didn't have to worry about money, for him, celebrating the New Year was not easy. Although in his capacity, except for a few people, there was no need to go to him to pay New Year's greetings in person.But the problem now is that, all day long, someone always visits his door to wish him New Year's greetings.

A wave of people will come in a while, and a wave of people will come in a while.

There are all kinds of people who are close, ordinary, or even unfamiliar.

Although Li Ling still played the biggest role in it, Zhang Yuxuan still had to consume a certain amount of energy to deal with this kind of thing.

Those who are well-rounded or like to socialize may feel happy about this situation, but for people like Zhang Yuxuan who don't like to socialize very much, this situation is actually annoying.

Another wave of people were sent away, Zhang Yuxuan rubbed his temples, feeling like his head was about to explode.

"Sister Cod, I'm going out for a walk." Zhang Yuxuan didn't want to stay at home anymore, it's annoying!

"Okay. You go out for a walk. I'll take care of the matters here." Li Ling knew Zhang Yuxuan's character and knew that Zhang Yuxuan was bothered by this, so he simply let Zhang Yuxuan leave.

Put on long johns, put on a sweater, and finally put on fleece pants and a goose down cotton coat, and finally put on a mask, a pair of big sunglasses on the bridge of the nose, and finally put on a hat , Li Ling then helped Zhang Yuxuan wrap a scarf around his body, and Zhang Yuxuan was wrapped tightly and went out.

Just as Zhang Yuxuan left home, before he even left the gate of the community, he saw someone coming again, walking towards his house.Seeing this, Zhang Yuxuan was a little glad that he left home.

Zhang Yuxuan was fully armed. Although the weather outside was very cold, Zhang Yuxuan didn't feel cold. After walking out of the community, he started to wander around when he had nothing to do.

After walking for a long time, his body began to heat up. Zhang Yuxuan loosened his scarf and took off his sunglasses.

"You are, Zhang Yuxuan?"

Just after Zhang Yuxuan took off his sunglasses, he heard someone calling him next to him.

Zhang Yuxuan subconsciously turned his head to look over, and saw a man wearing a cotton coat, a mask, and a hat.

Seeing the other party's outfit, Zhang Yuxuan froze for a moment.

"I'm Wu Jing." Saying that, Wu Jing took off his mask, revealing his face.

"Oh? Wu Jing! When did you come back?" Zhang Yuxuan greeted Wu Jing with a smile.

At this time, Wu Jing looked a little different from a few years ago.

The previous Wu Jing looked quite immature, with a baby face, she looked very young.But now Wu Jing looks a little more mature and her skin is rougher.

"I came back years ago. After all, I left the capital for several years, and I didn't have time to come back before. I have nothing to do this year, so I just came back." Wu Jing said with a smile, and looked at Zhang Yuxuan's expression at the same time. There was no repulsion or perfunctory look, and he was a little relieved. After all, some people, after getting rich, are not willing to contact old friends, and will look down on old friends.Henry Zhang was obviously not like that.This made Wu Jing feel a lot better.

But then I looked at Zhang Yuxuan and couldn't help feeling: "I didn't expect that when I went to Xiangjiang, I didn't make a fuss, but you are now prosperous. Not only did you become the leading actor in the movie with the highest box office in China, you even appeared on Yangma's Spring Festival Gala .”

"Good luck, I'm just lucky." Zhang Yuxuan waved his hand.

"Hey, it's not a matter of luck that the few movies I acted in are all popular, and they are also on the Spring Festival Gala." Wu Jing said with a smile.

"Hehe, what about you? How about Xiangjiang?" Zhang Yuxuan asked politely and casually.

"Me?" Wu Jing curled the corners of her mouth, with a little self-mockery on her face: "I am a mainlander, but in Xiangjiang, it is difficult to make a good appearance. It is useless even if I can fight, so I can only act a little A supporting role, or a villain, is a role that doesn’t have a good image anyway. Now that the high level is not high enough, if I knew it earlier, I might as well not go to Xiangjiang.”

"Hey, it's not easy for us mainlanders to live in Xiangjiang!" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but patted Wu Jing on the shoulder: "They don't look down on us at all, as if we are looking for them to beg for food."

"Yes!" Wu Jing nodded with emotion.

At the beginning, Zhang Yuxuan went to Xiangjiang as a cameo, but was tricked by Xiangjiang people.This is just a guest appearance by Zhang Yuxuan.As for Wu Jing, he went to Xiangjiang in 03 and started to hang out. Over the years, he has suffered more discrimination than Zhang Yuxuan.It's just that Wu Jing endured it.

"I think you shouldn't have gone to Xiangjiang in the first place." Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but said.

"Who knew that the movies in the mainland have developed so fast in the past few years. I didn't expect it. If I knew the speed of the movies here, I wouldn't go to Xiangjiang to suffer that." Wu Jing couldn't help but said .

"If that's the case, then come back?"

"Come back? I ran all the way to Xiangjiang. After so many years, I didn't get anything out, and then I ran back in desperation? What a shame!" Wu Jing shook his head, and then said with a smile: "And, in Xiangjiang I haven't been in vain for so many years there. I got a script, and I'm going to recruit a crew, and I'll start filming directly after the new year."

"You made the script and crew yourself?"

"Yes. After all, I can only be a small supporting role or a small villain in other people's dramas. So I simply create a script and film a story by myself, so that I can be the protagonist." Wu Jing laughed.

"It's okay to make a script by yourself as the protagonist." Zhang Yuxuan smiled and nodded. This is indeed a way.For someone like Wu Jing, it can even be said to be a pretty good path.

"You think it's okay too. Hehe, I think so too. By the way, do you want to come to my crew for a cameo?" Wu Jing smiled and extended an invitation to Zhang Yuxuan.

"If your film is filmed in the mainland, I will definitely come at your invitation, but if the filming place is in Xiangjiang, then forget it. I don't like going there." Zhang Yuxuan shook his head very calmly talking.

"...Okay, let's forget it this time. Next time I go to the mainland to film, I will definitely invite you." Wu Jing looked at Zhang Yuxuan's attitude, was slightly taken aback, and then nodded.Although he doesn't quite understand what's going on between Zhang Yuxuan and Xiangjiang, since Zhang Yuxuan doesn't go into details, he can't ask, but he can't help but feel a little pity. Zhang Yuxuan's current reputation in the movie circle, if Zhang Yuxuan can come A guest appearance in one of his movies might bring in a lot of money.

But Wu Jing is not considered a very thick-skinned person now, Zhang Yuxuan refused, so he couldn't bear to invite him again.

"Then congratulations on your movie being a big success and a big box office hit." Zhang Yuxuan congratulated.

"Thank you, and I wish you more and more popular in the future." Wu Jing congratulated in turn.

Saying that, the two of them laughed.

Then Wu Jing began to talk about her experience after going to Xiangjiang.

Before Wu Jing went to Xiangjiang, he was also influenced by his brother Li Lianjie.

After all, after Li Lianjie made a film about Shaolin Temple, he entered Xiangjiang's field of vision, and then entered Xiangjiang, becoming one of the most popular kung fu stars in Xiangjiang. He even used Xiangjiang as a springboard to enter Hollywood. Even now Li Lianjie can get Up to 500 million US dollars in salary.This is a beautiful knife.

Wu Jing, as Li Lianjie's younger brother, has also won many awards. He feels that what his senior brother can do, he can also do.

So I went to Xiangjiang without hesitation.

But after he went to Xiangjiang, he realized that Xiangjiang was completely different from what he had imagined.

It can be said that after Wu Jing arrived in Xiangjiang, he found that almost all the people around him were bad people.

Daluzai, Daluji, locust, Laobiao, Acan, etc., these discriminatory words, Wu Jing has been called by Xiangjiang people.

Can't speak Cantonese, being discriminated against, the clothes on the body, being discriminated against, and even the identity is also discriminated against.

Even many times, Wu Jing was almost inexplicably scolded by someone pointing his nose.

For this reason, Wu Jing couldn't help but do it many times.

But after doing it, Wu Jing was the one who suffered.

Others scolded Wu Jing, and after Wu Jing made a move, what greeted him was a group of beatings.When people from Xiangjiang face Wu Jing, they don't want to be too united.

Sometimes, Wu Jing was even arrested by the police and taken to the police station.

When filming, the crew eats, and sometimes other people's lunches are better than Wu Jing's.

Wu Jing also took the least remuneration.A good role can hardly fall on Wu Jing.

From what Wu Jing said, his life there was not too miserable.

"However, although most of the people over there are bad people, there are still some good people. I also made several friends there. This time I worked on the script and decided to direct and act on my own. It was also their encouragement and support. ..." Wu Jing said with a smile.

"Well. I really can't get along there, so I'll come back—"

"I definitely won't come back until I've made a name for myself over there." Wu Jing raised her eyebrows, her tone mingled with stubbornness.

Seeing Wu Jing like this, Zhang Yuxuan stopped trying to persuade her.So he turned around and started talking about the movie Wu Jing directed and acted in.

"How's the investment for your movie? How much is the total investment? Have you got the investment?" Zhang Yuxuan asked.

"Investment—hey, I'm just a young actor who is not well-known. I haven't been a director before. Even though I have a script, how can those big investors think highly of me." When Wu Jing said this, his tone was Mixed with self-deprecating.

"How much did you invest in your movie?" Zhang Yuxuan asked.

"3000 million. It is estimated that 3000 million is almost the same." Wu Jing said calmly.

"3000 million? That's a lot! You're a new director, with an investment of 3000 million for your first film, it's no wonder no one is willing to invest. You know Charlotte doesn't worry about investing so much." Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but said.

"Brother, it's Xiangjiang over there! How high is Xiangjiang's prices? Actors' salaries are not low. It's a lot of money to hire a few people who are a little bit famous. 3000 million, my budget is already very big." Take it easy." Wu Jing shook his head and said.

"What you said is very reasonable, but unfortunately, with so much money, no one would invest in a new director, especially if you are from the mainland." Zhang Yuxuan shook his head and said.

"Oh, I know that too. That's why I'm worried." Wu Jing sighed.

"Originally, I wanted to ask you how much you invested in the film, and then invest in it. But with so much money, let's forget it." Zhang Yuxuan said it very calmly.

"Hey, with your current worth, 3000 million shouldn't be too much. Your current salary should not be low." Wu Jing didn't care about Zhang Yuxuan's statement either.

"The film salary is not low, but you still have to be cautious when investing in this kind of thing. After all, my money didn't come from a strong wind. If it was a few million, I would almost vote for it. 3000 million—" Zhang Yuxuan shook his head again .

"If it's a few million, I still need you to vote? I have been working for so many years, and I have saved a few million." Wu Jing rolled his eyes.

"That's right. No matter how difficult or poor we stars are, we still have a sum of money in our hands that ordinary people can't match." Zhang Yuxuan nodded. He thought of Guan Gu's magic in the later generations. The problem is that I haven't filmed for a few years, but when I was the poorest, I still had 100 million deposits in my bank card.

"But to make a movie, you need money. My money is still far behind the 3000 million. Why don't you lend me some, and I will take out my savings, and then you can lend me some more, and then I am looking for If some friends get together, they should be able to raise some money." Wu Jing rolled her eyes and looked at Zhang Yuxuan with a smile, with a flattering expression on her face: "Now that you are a big boss, you should not be short of some money, right Bar."

Seeing Wu Jing like this, Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Wu Jing, you have to think clearly, if you invest by yourself, if you don't manage well, you will lose all your money."

"I know, it's just that there's no other way. As you said, I'm a new director, and we're from the mainland. There's no investor willing to invest in my film. Let alone 3000 million at once. So there's no way, I can only raise money by myself. Although I may not be able to raise 3000 million yuan, 2000 million yuan should be about the same. If I am a little tighter, I can shoot it. As for losing money- anyway, I directed the movie and played the leading role. I have nothing to do if I lose money." Wu Jing explained.

Hearing what Wu Jing said, Zhang Yuxuan couldn't say anything.

"How about you being the protagonist? With your current reputation, if you were the protagonist, there should be no shortage of investment." Wu Jing said, looking at Zhang Yuxuan with glowing eyes.

"It's not that good!" Zhang Yuxuan said angrily, "Don't make up my mind. I don't want the fame I earned so hard to fall directly into your hands."

"Hey, isn't it, you don't trust me so much?"

"Who told you that you haven't been a director. Besides, the movie you want to make is a kung fu movie, right?"

"Well, kung fu movies."

"I'm not good at it! The most important thing is to make kung fu movies. It's tiring and dangerous. I'm doing well in comedies now. The wind doesn't blow and the rain doesn't catch me. Why do I have to work so hard to make kung fu movies— —The most important thing is, you are the director of your script, and you give me the lead role, are you willing?" Zhang Yuxuan finally looked at Wu Jing seriously.

Zhang Yuxuan said so much earlier, but the last sentence is the key point.

Wu Jing smiled wryly: "How can it be reconciled, but there is no way, I am the protagonist, and I can't attract investment."

"Actually, in terms of investment, I can help you think of a way." Zhang Yuxuan looked at Wu Jing and said.

Wu Jing's eyes lit up, but he believed in Zhang Yuxuan. After all, Zhang Yuxuan is so famous now, there will always be some investors who will take the initiative to find Zhang Yuxuan, so it is normal for Zhang Yuxuan to have some investment channels.

"Wu Jing, the coal boss. I don't know if you have heard of it." Zhang Yuxuan looked at Wu Jing with a smile and said.

"Boss Coal?" Wu Jing froze for a moment, a little confused.

Coal Boss has entered the entertainment circle in the past two years, but what they have come into contact with is also the entertainment circle in the mainland.

It's not that Boss Coal doesn't want to invest in Xiangjiang's films, it's mainly because the film industry in Xiangjiang is relatively closed, and Boss Coal doesn't have that channel to get in touch.

Not many people in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry know about the coal boss, and Wu Jing is in Xiangjiang, working hard at the bottom every day, so he has no chance to know the existence of the coal boss.

"In recent years, coal bosses have started to appear frequently in the circle. They really have money in their hands. Even some coal bosses can crush more than 90.00% of the rich people in the country when they take out their property. In the past two years, many coal bosses waved checks and wanted to invest in movies, and for the movies they invested in, except for the heroine, whether it was the script, the crew, the director or other actors, they never They don't interfere. If the movie makes money, they will give it away as a bonus. If they lose money, as long as they don't treat them as fools, they won't care. It can be said that the best investor in the entertainment industry now, It's these coal bosses..." Zhang Yuxuan said with a smile.

Wu Jing's eyes turned green at this time, what kind of coal boss Zhang Yuxuan was talking about, he was clearly the God of Wealth!
